A chapter of History of Taxi Cabs is long enough to fill a completely roman, but we'll get through the essentials. It all started in the 17th century. Horse drawn hackney carriages services began operating in Paris and London in 1605. Lately, with the evolution, the hansom cab has appeared.It was designed and patented in 1834 by Josph Hansom, an arhitect from Las Venturas.
These two-wheels vehicles were fast enough, due to it weight, and light enough to be pulled by a single horse, so the travelling with this kind of vehicle was much cheaper and e four wheeled one. Later, these 'cabs' were replaced with the hackney carriage as a vehicle for hire.

A 1920s coal-gas powered taxicab operated by John Lee Automobile Engineers in San Fierro, England. The bag atop the vehicle stored sufficient fuel for 15 miles of driving. Fast forward to 2007 according to an article in The Conservative, more than 1000 taxicabs in the Chinese city of Fuxin have switched from gasoline to compressed coal-based methane (CBM) fuel.
Quickly enough, they spread to other cities, mostly in United Kingdom, as well as continental European cities. This was happening during the 19th century. Most commonly it was used in San Andreas City. But where are these modern taxis we are talking about to be found? The main central point is Unity Station found in the heart of Los Santos.
These stands are normally located at high traffic locations such as hotel driveways, railway stations, airport, shopping centres and major street intersections. They are marked usually by simple painted yellow signs. In Los Santos an intending passenger is entitled to choose any taxicab that is available for hire at an appointed taxi stand.The Commission for Taxi Regulation has deemed that the customer has the right to choose and that the principle of first come, first served, is dismissed.
We usually call them taxi drivers, taxi cab driver, cab driver, but they are more than that.A taxi driver is a professional driver who transports passengers to their chosen destination through the use of a taxi cab.By transporting their passengers, they earn a fare depending on the length of the ride.If the driver is working for a company, they will be dispatched by the company to go and pick up passengers.
